Maui - Zipline and Volcanoes (Day 4)

On January 23, we started the day by going ziplining.

When we finished, we drove up to Haleakala

Maui - SNUBA (Day 5)

On January 24, we booked a SNUBA excursion. This is a cross between snorkeling and scuba diving, since we were able to completely submerge, but were tethered to a boat with air tanks.

We saw lots of brightly colored fish

Sea turtles

Eels

and rays

Maui - Exploring (Days 6-7)

During the remaining two days (Jan 25-26) we explored on our own.

We went snorkeling.

We also visited the Maui Ocean Center.

And we had a lovely sunset dinner before catching our late flight home.

Indianapolis

I went to Indianapolis for a couple of days for work. My hotel room had a great view of White River State Park. I got up early each morning before meetings started to explore the area. It was relaxing with almost nobody around.

Posing with Albert

I had a work trip at the National Academies of Science in Washington DC. During one of the breaks, I went outside for a picture with Albert.
